Reading Time: 3 Minutes Hola amigos! Been a crazy crazy few months – I know I have been slacking in regards to this blog dear readers, but strewth it’s been a whirlwind. Mainly to do with juggling two young ‘uns, the business and a whole raft of other bits and pieces which make this life oh so interesting. Finally have about 5 minutes to breathe, so Imma gonna punch out a short snappy post to try and catch you guys up (and also a bit of self-reflection). Given it is almost June 30, I’d thought it’s timely to post a half-yearly report with all the bells and whistles. Without further…

Investing For The Kids
Reading Time: 3 Minutes Strewth, just finished cleaning my daughters vomit. Yep, you read that right. Nothing says winning like an ol fashioned midnight cleaning job. Quick shower, change pillow, change bedsheets and FINALLY she’s down again. Unfortunately for me, all that excitement has got me all riled up, so why not punch out a blogpost?

One of these days I swear, he’ll go on a walk-about and FFS MrsFrugalSamurai and I will make front page news as negligent parents. Anyway, when I finally caught up to…

Is The RBA About To Cut Rates?
Reading Time: 2 Minutes Shh… we don’t want to jinx it do we? Jinx what? Well, the RBA might, just might be considering cutting their headline interest rate next week. Oh! Oh indeed. Mark down next Tuesday Feb 18 in your diary, as that’s when the next scheduled RBA announcement is. Are we going to finally see some relief? The Big 4 banks certainly think so, with all 4 of them predicting an interest rate cut and a reduction in their fixed rate pricing. It’s a sure sign that they feel confident of a rate drop. Although there are still some market analysts who are calling for rates to remain…

New Year Predictions – 新年快乐!
Reading Time: 3 Minutes Hola senors and senoritas!!! Como estas? Estoy bien gracias! What’s that? It’s Chinese New Year? Oh shit. Um. 女士们先生们大家好!!! 大家都好吗? 我很好，谢谢! 新年快乐! For those of you who weren’t aware, today is Chinese New Year, one of the biggest days on the calendar in the Chinese culture. Why is it called Chinese New Year? I think it’s because it is the New Year celebrated by the Chinese. Oh and it’s also known as the Lunar New Year – something to do with the moon and the stars and handing out red pockets. It’s supposed to be a time for family reunions and removing bad luck to usher…
